| - Draco thrived in Medieval England within a large cave, surrounded by fire and lava. When Einon, a Saxon prince turned king is mortally wounded, he is brought forth by his mother Queen Aislinn and a Knight of the Old Code named Bowen. Begging for him to help, Draco makes the young king swear to rule with justice and virtue, which Einon promises. By swearing this oath, Draco had shared half of his own heart with the young king in order to save his life from certain death. Bowen then offers his services to the great dragon, however Draco tells him to remind Einon of his oath. Immediately after, Draco had realized that he had made a grave mistake and that Einon had not kept his word and became a more tyrannical king than his father and spent 12 years on the run from Bowen who now began hunting dragons, believing them to be the cause of his king's reign of tyranny. Draco traveled until he and Bowen became locked not only in combat, but also a stalemate that could have led to the demise of both. Draco then gives Bowen an alternative which involves him either them killing each other or to form a partnership. Bowen decides to take him up on his offer and the two form a partnership by defrauding villages with staged dragonslayings. One night, the two are around a campfire and Draco is given his name by Bowen after observing the Constellation Draco. Their next con goes poorly after a local village girl named Kara exposes them in front of their village, however Draco takes them and a monk named Brother Gilbert to Avalon where they take refuge amongst it's castle. Draco also reveals to them that it was he who gave half of his heart to Einon and reveals that the constellation is indeed a dragon heaven where Dragons who have proven their worth go after they die. Draco admits that he fears of losing his soul because of this grave mistake and wishes to undo what he has done, which leads to Gilbert, Kara and finally Bowen agreeing to help. Once they return to Kara's village, Bowen teaches them how to fight against Einon's soldiers. While during the confrontation, Draco feels pain due to the injury sustained by Einon and is knocked out of the sky. Einon keeps Draco alive knowing that as long as his heart beats, he is effectively immortal. That night, Bowen and the others launch a rescue to save Draco but end up confronting Einon and his men. Bowen manages to temporarily dispatch Einon and rushes to Draco's aid, but the dragon wishes for Bowen to end his life in order to end the life of Einon. Bowen protests this, however realizing his alternatives, the knight of the old code honors his dear friend's request and strikes the dragon's heart with a double-bladed axe which kills both in the process. Draco's body then dissipates and when Bowen asks his friend's advice as to what to do now and where to turn, Draco replies "To the stars Bowen. To the stars". Draco's soul then ascends where he is welcomed into the dragon heaven, becoming a new star within the great constellation.

Eventually though Draco agreed to save Einon, hoping that his heart could make Einon a better person. Instead, Einon proved to be no better after getting half of Draco's heart, and went on to become just as evil as his father ever was. Horrified at his actions, Draco retreated, also being pursued by Bowen, who believed that Draco's heart had made Einon evil. For 12 years Draco fled and hid, watching as his fellow dragons were slain until eventually he was the only one left. Pointing out to Bowen that if the former knight kills him he will be out of a job, the two instead agree to work together and con villages by having Draco attack them and then pretend to be slain by Bowen. As the two continue this scheme, they come to develop a genuine friendship, with Draco first getting this name from Bowen (his real name is, according to Draco, unpronouncable for humans). Draco also explains that only sufficiently viruous dragons get to go to their heaven, and that all others simply "disappear" when they die. Because Draco saved the life of a wicked individual, and used his own heart to do it, he knows full well that he will never be able to ascend. Draco helps Bowen and his friends formulate a rebellion against Einon, but due to sharing a link with him in which they can feel each other's pain, it becomes clear that Einon cannot die so long as Draco lives. As a result, Bowen is ultimately forced to kill his friend to stop Einon. But in having given his life to stop Einon, Draco has sufficiently redeemed himself and his soul is allowed to ascend to the Dragon's heaven, becoming the very brightest of the starts in it.
